Ruben looked as shocked as I felt. “We broke the table.” “No shit!” Looking down at him, I said, “I can’t believe we did that.” ...The door burst open and the receptionist stared at us. Her face pinched. “What on earth are you doing?” She didn’t need to ask, it was pretty obvious.“Um…” I said, causing Ruben to chuckle.

Names Danielle Breeze, twenty-four but some days I feel forty! I have two beautiful young children (makes finding the time to write challenging to say the least!) Born and raised in Coventry, England – don’t think I’d ever really have leave here because I'm a home-bird!

I have always read books, magazines...the back of the shampoo bottle...ANYTHING I could, since I’ve been able to form words! I wanted to write my own books for as long as I can remember, scribbling little pieces down when I was younger, anything to get my ideas out! I was at university when I decided I was going to stop wanting to do it, and actually do it! I have plenty of different works in the pipeline, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Nicola's 5 Bare Naked Star Review

“Welcome
to the world of make-believe, where appearances are not as they seem and wine
is the only cure for it.”

After reading and falling in love with ‘Midnight’ I was eager to get my hands on the continuation of Colin and Charlie’s story and as before Elizabeth Miller did not disappoint. She has this uncanny ability to not only write a magnificent story but to incorporate a subject which is normally confusing as hell and write it in a way which we can all relate and understand. I cannot commend this book; this series enough. It truly is wonderful.

We are thrown straight back into the thick
of things after Charlie discovers some shocking information that leaves her
heart breaking.

But Colin isn’t one to let his heart go and
he immediately fights for what and who he wants.

“You
captured my heart from the very beginning. It will belong to you for all of
time Charlie.”

“Taking
his hand I place it between my breasts. A frantic, beating rhythm greets his
fingers. “Feel this?”…”It belongs to you—forever. No other man could ever own
it the way you do”.

But with obstacles and danger constantly
trying to keep them both apart and Charlie’s fear of not fitting into Colin’s
world.

Can Colin prove to Charlie that she is
exactly what we wants and needs?

Before
I knew you existed, I craved you. Craved the closeness, the contact, and the
person who could take me away from the false pretence and feel alive again. You
said that I saved you, but it’s simply not true.”…”You saved me from a life of
solitude. People surround me, yet I’d never been more alone. So, you can ask of
me anything and I will give it freely. You have my heart. I’ll give you my
life, but don’t ask me to give you up. I won’t survive it, Charlie.”

Charlie and Colin are the perfect for each
other; while their pasts left them utterly devastated and heartbroken, together
they healed each other and become something greater than what they had ever
expected. They learned what love truly was and that together they could
overcome anything.

Although Politics is still at the forefront
of the book, I felt as though it took a little bit of a backburner in ‘Midnight Sky’ to make way for their
relationship. We get to see Colin and
Charlie’s in a much deeper level and watch them grow both together and as
individuals.

I loved that we got to see the inner battle
Charlie had and the constant pressure that she put herself under to become the
perfect person she thought Colin needed. But you also got to see the
determination she had not to let anyone tear them apart, not even Colin when he
‘thought it was for the best’.

Colin made my heart swell in this book,
especially when he showed Charlie to what extent he would go to protect her. I
had tears in my eyes and my heart was in my throat while I waited for the
outcome to what happened. It was the ultimate act of love and it was both
heart-wrenching and swoon-worthy.

As the pages and story unravel it only gets
better and I was utterly disappointed when I finished reading this book. I have
fallen in love with these two characters and could quite happily carry on
reading how their story unfolds forever.

Questions are answered but new ones arise
as we are left again waiting for the third and final book in this fantastic
debut series but a promising author.

It had everything you could possibly want
in a book. Love, humour, a plot with lots of suspense, and an intense, HOT
passion that only increases the more you read.

Ms. Miller, you still have me captivated
and excited with your phenomenal writing and I cannot wait to get more Charlie
and Colin as well as many more future stories.

Excerpt:

Bare chest heaving, Colin kneels on the edge of the mattress staring: drinking me in with

those insatiable midnight blues. He doesn’t speak, he doesn’t have to. I can see everything written in the tight clench of his jaw, the tension easing as
his gaze lingers over my body. He wants me, but it’s more than that. More than need, more than lust. The shadow covering his face is not enough to hide his
love. I may be dinner, but it’s a feast worthy of a king.

An unexpected moan escapes my parted lips, yanking his gaze back to mine. He smiles a

feral smirk that grows as he falls to his hands and crawls over me until we’re nose to nose.

“I’m hungry bunny.”

I lick my lips and accept his mouth when he crushes mine. The hunger eating away at me

for days is released and reciprocated as we paw at each other. I’m desperate to touch, pet and claw my nails down his back. I feel his answering moan in
the pulse between my thighs. It’s not enough, it’s never enough. Not with Colin. Snaking my hand between us, I unleash his belt. When I fumble at the
zipper I settle for palming his erection through his pants. His mouth becomes more urgent, as does his tongue and hands.

But he breaks away, pushing up to his knees and pressing mine apart with the spread of his. The harsh sound of our labored breathing falls like the tails
of a firework display all around us: explosive and ready to start of fire.

“No more games?”

“No…” I reach for his fly again with more success this time, moving under his briefs to

find his hard length. Taking back a little control my fingers glide over his penis and squeeze at the base. It’s not fair, so not fair, that he’s
completely unfazed and hot as hell. A lock of hair has fallen on his forehead; no doubt released from its perfection by my grip. I want him everywhere. I
want to become overwhelmed by Colin McKenna. My mouth filled with the taste of him on my tongue. Blinded by his beauty and held captive by his touch. I
need to break through his implacable self-discipline and I just might know how.

“You’ve kept me waiting too long. Please…”

“Please what?”

“Eat me…”
